Task 7: Configure Static Routing on BRANCH
Consider the type of static routing that is needed on BRANCH.
Step 1.
What networks are present in the BRANCH routing table? List the networks with slash
notation.
192.168.2.128/26
192.168.2.192/26
What networks are missing from the BRANCH routing table? List the networks with slash
notation.
192.168.2.64/26
209.165.201.0/30
209.165.200.224/27
Can one summary route that includes all the missing networks be created?
no
How many WAN routes are available to traffic leaving the LAN connected to BRANCH?
1
Configure BRANCH with a default static route pointing to HQ.
Step 2.
Because BRANCH is a stub router, you should configure BRANCH with a default static
route pointing to HQ. Record the command to configure a default static route using the
appropriate exit interface.
BRANCH(config)#
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0/0/0
View the routing table of BRANCH to verify the new static route entry.
Step 3.
You should see a gateway of last resort set on BRANCH.
Without testing it first, do you think that PC1 can now successfully ping PC2?
no
Why or why not?
PC1 cannot successfully ping PC2. Although PC2 will receive the ping packet from PC1
and send a ping reply to HQ, HQ does not yet know how to route packets back to PC1's
subnet.
